Dirt / Orange team manager, Ben Reid walks us through Harry Heath's Orange 322 downhill bike. The bike features FOX suspension, Schwalbe tires (which are run tubeless for racing), SRAM drivetrain and brakes, Renthal bars, stem and grips, Gamut chaingudes, Dirty saddles, Works Components head sets and DT Swiss wheels.
The bike currently sits near 35lbs but World Cup race weight should be in the 34lb-range as a lighter saddle and wheel set will be used. Ben believes that this the best weight for a sturdy, but durable setup with an aluminum frame.
The team is proud to feature a large number of UK-based brands and looks forward to the 2014 World Cup season.
